11/03 FREEDOM
7 IS HERE! “I purchased my copy of
Freedom Of The Hills in 1976 and consumed it several times well before
I ever set foot in the mountains. Through the years my well-worn copy
became my guide and reference for the art of mountaineering. I would
highly recommend this book as a ‘must have’ for any aspiring mountaineer’s
library.” ―Ed Viesturs
